2.4L Supercharged Videos
First off i would like to thank Ethan, Thurman, Dave, Chris, Crystal, Jim, Pat, Rebel Autoworx, Senior Brown and Dan for their help with the install, information and tuning of this monster
Here's a bunch of videos including idle, revving, boosting, flybys, exhaust tone etc.
I apologize for the quality, these videos were shot on my digital camera which isnt the best. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
I've recently added the LSJ throttle body onto the supercharger. With a bit of wiring swapping we were able to get the LSJ TB to work on the 2.4. Here's some videos. Enjoy!
p.s. one of the video shows a check engine light, its due to a little issue we're having on cold startups, other than that everything runs great.
42# injectors at 80% duty (at redline) on a stock sized pulley running 9psi. Mods include Fujita Intake, Supercharger, Motor and tranny mounts, Cobra heat Exchanger, XTC Header, ZZP Downpipe, Magnaflow Catback, shortshifter, springs, strut bar, drilled and slotted rotors, etc etc etc.
here's a before and after shot of the engine


And here's some videos

The tuning was trickey and tedious for the most part, but once we got past the first few real obstacles it was pretty smooth. We were able to log our wideband AFR by wiring my AEM wideband into the Air Conditioning and inputing a few formulas. That alone made tuning a lot easier. We tuned via MAF and then we'd throw it into close loop, log the long term fuel trims and then alter them in open loop.

Tummys just scared, he's gonna talk **** till he races and loses 
This thing pulls like a ************, however its burning the **** out of my clutch. the next mod will be a fizdana lightweight flywheel and a spec stage 3+ clutch. I brought it to the track wednesday night but the clutch wouldnt engage after i a hard launch, so basicly i couldnt run the quarter mile with my clutch.
the car wont be dyno'd until i have a new clutch. I cant exactly get an accurate reading with the clutch slipping in the lower gears.

The tune itself is very specific to my car (modifications, altitude, sensors etc), so most likely the best thing you would be able to get out of the tune would be the base numbers etc. The fuel logging etc may be too rich or lean depending on your location, but just keep in contact with me when you get closer to your tuning stage.

i may end up taking it to a shop around here that some of the balt guys in florida have went to for tuning.

will do bro, so far i have just gathered a few parts. i have the supercharger, alternator, injectors, and injector harness, next thing i pick up will probably be the manifold.

Parts List:
Eaton M62 Supercharger
Supercharger Gasket
Stock LSJ Intake Manifold
Intake Manifold Bottom Mount
Intake Manifold Gasket (Part #12597855)
2.5 Bar Map/Intake Temp Sensor (on upper left of LSJ manifold)
2.5 Bar Pigtail (Part #88988320)
Bosch/LSJ Intercooler Pump
Intercooler Pump Wiring Pigtail or Butt Connecters
Intercooler Pump Mounting Bracket (rebelautoworx.com)
Cobra Heat Exchanger (Used from a 03 Mustang Cobra)
Cobra Heat Exchanger Brackets (custom or bwoodyperformance.com)
42.5# Injectors (recommended)
Injector Harness
Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge (THIS IS NOT AN OPTIONAL ITEM!!!)
Boost/Vacuum Gauge
Stage 2 Belt (Part# 12597993; requires one rib be cut off)
Custom Idler Pulley with Mounting Bracket (rebelautoworx.com)
Extended Upper Radiator Hose
Coolant Reservoir Tank (Cobalt or Ion Recommend)
NGK Copper Spark Plugs (Part# LFR6A-11)
SS/SC intake
10ft. x ¾” I.D. Hose
10ft x ¼” I.D. Hose
4ft. x ½” I.D. Hose
Small and Large Hose clamps.
3 x 1/8th NPT ¼” Barb Fittings
Self Tapping Sheet Metal Screws (Mounting H/E brackets)
6M 25mm Bolts
6M 90mm Studs with Locking Nuts
8M 50mm Bolts
Water Wetter Coolant
1/8th NPT Drill Tap
21/64th Drill bit (for the 1/8th tap)
20 gauge wiring
Zip Ties
Electrical Tape
Plastic Wiring Sleeves
Optional:
LSJ Throttle Body (requires some wiring)
Aero Force Interceptor Gauge
Gauge Pillar
Oil Pressure Gauge
Notes:
• A 2 bar map sensor will work instead of a 2.5 bar map sensor, however the 2.5 bar map sensor from the LSJ will also read intake manifold temps.
• Stock LSJ Injectors will not be sufficient for this setup. the IDC will be too high
• The stock LSJ belt may also be used with this setup, however it may require a larger idler pulley and there is no guarantee on the fitment of the larger idler on the rebel bracket.
• I’ve heard that the stock LE5 Injector harness will work with the 42.5lb Injectors however I cannot confirm this.
Tool List:
Wrench Set
Spark Plug Socket
Drill with Assorted Bit Sizes.
Soldering Iron (optional)
Screwdrivers
Jack
2x Jack Stands
Creeper (optional)
Grinding Tool
Vice Grips
Box Knife
Teflon Tape
Allen Keys
Clearing up some Common Misconceptions:
1. You DO NOT need the LSJ Alternator for this setup, however you will need to cut one rib off the stage two belt
2. To use the LSJ Throttle body you need to swap some wiring on the T/B pigtail, i will have updates later on
3. This is not a BOLT ON, this setup will require a tune, and is unsafe to even attempt to drive if it is not tuned.
Preparation:
1. I highly recommend removing the front bumper, headlights, headlight mounting brackets, front wheels and fender lining, REMOVAL OF THESE ITEMS ARE UP TO YOU TO FIGURE OUT, HOWEVER THEY’RE ALL PRETTY SIMPLE.
2. If you plan on using a LSJ intake you will need to remove the windshield wiper fluid reservoir from the driver’s side fender.
3. You will need to cut open the stock engine wiring harness and relocated the MAF and Throttle Body Wires to the other side of the engine compartment. Allow Plenty of slack in the wiring, they can always be tucked away later.
4. I also would recommend setting up two tables in your workspace. The first with all the items that need to go on the car, and the second for the items you take off the car.
5. Stock the fridge with drinks and snacks, this will take a while!
6. If you are not already using fully synthetic motor oil, you should probably switch over before installing your supercharger. The LE5 requires 5 quarts of 5W-30
